INFO:
Præst was a left-winger or inside-left. He spent the majority of his career at Østerbro from 1940 to 1949 and Juventus from 1949 to 1956, respectively making around 250 appearances for the Danish team and 233 for the Bianconeri. He scored 51 goals with Juventus. He retired in 1957 after an underwhelming season at Lazio. He capped for Denmar in 24 occasions, scoring 17 goals.
Præst's style of play was sharp, creative, made of straight dribbling, tricks, darting or mazing runs. He possessed great sprint, ball control, an excellent touch with the outside, the ability to avoid tackles. He used to start his run with the ball not too quickly, increasing speed when dribbling one, two or several defenders. His bursts of speed to get past an opponent were deadly, regular and looked more impressive due to his imposing physique (Boniperti once described him as 1.90 meters tall). The ball seemed magnetized to his feet due to his feints, the movements he made to converge towards the center or break through the defence without losing possession. He would attract the defenders towards himself, beat them with feints in tight spaces, keeping the ball until he could shoot or deliver a to a teammate likely with an accurate cross. His shots usually had great power and were nearly uncatchable as they had a low trajectory that switched upwards. He occasionally scored with headers or from free kick. He lacked of consistency and wasn't notably prolific but when he was in good condition, his gleams of class were crucial for his team. His inconsistency was offset by creativity and an exciting style of play. He was sporadically moved to the centre forward position during the match to make the offense deeper, add creativity, increase the sense of goal in the forward line.
